My wiper switch stem was not long enough either, so I carved a pocket in the backside of the wood dash for the switch body to rest, and it works perfectly.

Look at the home page on that link.

Whata garage! 
Having those windows really would help. I don’t know how accurate the replicas are in relation to the original tub of the TD. To the eye, they look the same. Don’t know about a hardtop fit between the two. Maybe Bill has the right idea, parka…

I actually found a new top with side curtains on ebay for $200. It was still wrapped from the factory and still had the protective paper on the clear plastic parts. It was a fortunate find, but took 2 months of searching ebay for one to show up. It fit perfectly and can be seen in my photos section.

Normally I keep stuff until the stuff takes over However, I will check this weekend behind the garage where it had been hanging around. Maybe it’s still there and I only thought I had thrown it away. I’ll get back to you.

Then zip up the flap door on the inside. You can see the flap in this photo. The entire thing is awkward, but does work when you do need the side curtains. Usually we keep the curtains rolled up and stored behind the seat bases.
